# Kentucky drops from AP Top 25 after win at South Carolina

Despite an overtime win at South Carolina, Kentucky fell out of the Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday and now sits atop the poll’s also-receiving-votes list.

Pittsburgh moved into the rankings at No. 25, pushing the Wildcats just outside the Top 25 after Kentucky’s 35-34 overtime victory in Columbia.

No. 10 LSU and No. 16 Florida remain among the Southeastern Conference teams still ranked in the poll.
